aw I miss impatiens , I live in Az now and they are not happy here.I've said it before and will say it again , I'm glad your back. Looking forward to the pea gravel patio of your co-workers. Yours too...eventually.

Nita, I hope you can get things done without them. They never seem to really work until I go without them. Just changed to a new kind a month ago. Sigh. Hope the dog is better. Thinking of you. I'm going to try the impatien trick. Never thought of it.

I love impatiens and recently planted some out front. It takes awhile for them to really look pretty growing into that beautiful mound. I'm going to try to root some but they seem so delicate right now. I hope it works! Thanks for sharing - I had no idea to root them either.

I hope you can do without the drugs. Some people do truly need them, but I have had people tell me that it is like seeing life through a haze. I don't know from personal experience.

I do know that impatience will often re-seed themselves. I don't have the world's greenest thumb, but in the past when I have planted them, then turned them over in the fall instead of pulling them out of the ground, you often get some flowers in the next years. I think you can buy seeds,too.

I hope you are not in harm's way with the terrible storms we've been hearing about.

Oh I love pink impatiens! Such a sweet and happy flower. They should be easy to root. Glad you are feeling better. I'm happy that you feel like doing things again. I think we all get in a valley once in awhile. Life happens and sometimes it's hard. Take care...can't wait to see your rooms when you get finished!

Now that the weather is warmer, I always find I am happiest in the yard pulling weeds and fussing about. Something about the circle of life, I guess. Hoping that your bout with depression will be lifted by birds, bees, and flowers!

Good luck with the impatiens! I never thought about trying that but that's a great idea.I'm glad to read that you are trying to wean off of the drugs.Life is so hard but I hate to think of you in a fog and not being creative.When I get really down, I try to watch something funny or read something uplifting or count my blessings.I also feel better being outside and working in the yard.Also, I try to remove myself from negativity as much as possible, although it's not easy sometimes!Good Luck and give your doggies hugs from me!xo
